1. Keep those damn Librul teachers in their lane!

Don't blame Slave Owners for Slavery.
Don't blame Nazis for the Holocaust.
Don't blame settlers & the US Army for the genocide of Native Americans.

JUST FOLLOW THE CURRICULUM. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE APPROVED CURRICULUM.

White Feewings could be hurt. Minds could liberalize.

8. Amen. Crazy!!

2. I'd like to say I am surprised, but I am really not.

I am almost becoming numb to shit like this because I just have had it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Teachers can bring up the Holocaust, but not blame Hitler?

Talk about absurd. No wonder Teachers all over this country are considering leaving the profession if they are not allowed to teach and lay the groundwork for critical and free thought.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. I wonder if anyone is keeping track of all of the teachers that are fleeing FL, TX, and other

such jurisdictions who attempt to line itemize exactly what should be taught in our schools? What's next, that PI actually is Mom's Apple Pie and not 3.14?

5. ...and to think, my cousin wants me to move to Florida from California. Not on your sweet bippy.

We have our loons here but Jaysus, they are not (for the most part) totally batshit crazy. I take the above to mean that a teacher can not "discrimate" against Nazis, slave owners/traders...or any of the other historical "bad guys".

[LonePirate]

6. That tells me Repubs support those who would be blamed such as the racists.

Neutrality on these issues signifies support for the people performing the atrocities.

7. These were the same people who cheered when Trump said "why won't Obama say 'Radical Muslim'?"

[gratuitous]

9. "Assign blame to a particular group or a PARTICULAR STUDENT"???

"All right, all you students of German heritage, you are personally responsible for the Holocaust," said no teacher anywhere ever. A very bad solution to a non-existent problem.

12. This is always about White discomfort.

The point of learning about White Supremacy is to learn to recognize it, not just in society, but how it has shaped YOU as well. We're all steeped in it from birth despite our best intentions.

But History Teachers aren't conducting Anti-Racism Workshops. The moral crimes of history are self-evident, and children understand it implicitly.

18. "The moral crimes of history are self-evident, and children understand it implicitly."

Exactly. They don't want their children to learn these lessons at school before they've been taught to hate at home.

[Claire Oh Nette]

10. Blame is for children.

History is the study of cause and effect. Action and ramification.

Florida schools will never teach about Tulsa or Wilmington and the white terrorism directed against those successful and separate communities, but the events still happened.

The folks worried about being "blamed" are those still perpetuating and demanding white supremacy, you know, the racists.

Fearful, incurious, and angry is no way to go through life.

11. I thought Republicans were the party of personal responsibility.

It looks like they're now the party of personal aggrievement.

[JT45242]

13. these are the same group that want to blame rape victims and battered spouses

Just like the had it coming because of

The next step is end rape laws because brought it on herself because

The wife/girlfriend deserved to be beaten because she

They want to return to the 1840s.

14. The GOP is certainly embracing their inner Nazi

[Thomas Hurt]

15. The whole family values accountability and responsibility just out the window.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

16. We have dumbed down civics for 25 years when does it end

Is it when 70 million voters think they are the majority and won and election they clearly lost?

[dalton99a]

17. Kick

[Leith]

19. Sooo... they're not going to blame China for Covid any more?

Yeah, right.

They'll make that one exception surely.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Another exemption so they can blame everything on the Clintons and the Obamas. . . .nt

[Torchlight]

20. This certainly seems to strengthen the argument

that white privilege exists in the here and the now.

And also that white privilege is slowly becoming codified into state laws by state's facing the concepts and consequences of simple equality and academic accuracy.




Can't have white students feeling that white history is anything less than righteous.

21. "On 2 December 1941, many ships suddenly sank at Pearl Harbor. Some people blame

the ships themselves; other people blame space lasers; still others say other things. But in our lesson today, of course, we will not try to assign any blame for this tragedy. Sometimes bad things just happen, and nobody knows why"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Good. Nobody can blame Canada

24. Well, the Nazis may have been "involved" with the Holocaust, but let's not point fingers.

And do we really need to be so judgemental on Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao ?

Genghis Khan was more misunderstood than anything.

South Carolina's firing on Fort Sumter was just the start of an extended period of legitimate political discourse.

Once you start, it's hard to stop. Not that Uglicans intend to stop.
